Fall is a perfect time to get your heating system ready for winter, and thermostats are one of the most-overlooked elements.

Thermostats control when the burner fires, switching the heat on and off to maintain a set temperature. Energy experts recommend scheduling setbacks of 8° at night and while you’re out of the house all day, and a programmable thermostat can automate those setbacks, making it easier than ever to achieve those savings.
